So yes I have made it to Bremen. The countryside here is breathtaking. I mean really. It reminds me of pictures of Marin before all the people and when horses and cows were prevelent; or so I hear. Today was a lazy day. Laundry and walking around looking for a grocery store, which I splattered my yogert all over one of the isles. Go me. There are German Warmbloods every where. Horses, dairy cows, and sheep are the main thing here. At least that is what is smells like. Later in the afternoon there was that unmistakable smell of cow shit. I felt like I was back home, except for the 600 year old church staring at me with gold on its ficad. Aparently my german is worse than I thought. I understand more french than ... read more

i just arrived here. it was freezing cold during the airport transfer. They said that temp is around 3 degres celcius. Not something that i am used to have in the Philippines. well, at the airport, nobody speaks english except for the people in the airline announcing boarding of plane and of course in british accent. this is really catharsis!! 2 young girls at my left side speaks espanole of some sort.. while group of guys on the stall near c23 (the gate where i should be going to line up for boarding) speak russian. well, ams to bre was rather short, compared to the 15 hours i had on mla to ams. i rode klm airline.. well, the flight was somehow confy although at first the entertainment system wouldnt work so they needed to fix ... read more

Halleluja, ich habs endlich kappiert und meine ersten Reisefotos aus Moskau in dieses elektronische Album erfolgreich eingeklebt. Nur eine deutliche Eigenkritik: Es sind viel zuviel! Wenn ich so weiter die Bildchen von meiner Traumreise in dieser Dichte hier droppen wuerde, waere am Ende mein bebildertes Reisetagebuch mindestens 35 cm dick mit der Folge, dass es keiner, mich eingeschlossen, mehr verdauen und erst recht nicht geniessen koennte. Aber nach dem Motto, dass ja auch in der Kunst, ein passables Reisetagebuch zu erschaffen, noch kein Meister vom Himmel gefallen ist, musste ich ja schliesslich maechtig ueben, die richtigen Bilder aus meiner chaotischen Ablage auf unterschiedlichen Speicherplaetzen zu entdecken und dann diese dazu zu bewegen, sich hier anzusiedeln. Bin sicher, dass es von mal zu mal besser klappen wird. Die Reise Richtung Ostsibirien begann an einem spaeten... read more

Since our last entry, we've spent more time in Copenhagen, visited the city of Malmo, Sweden, and traveled 7 hours south to the German city of Bremen. On our third morning in Europe, we caught the train to Malmo, about half an hour away from Copenhagen. Here we visited the Turning Torso, a high rise that turns 90 degrees and looks like a cloth being wringed out! We saw the old castle in town, and checked out other sites (fortunately all without having to pay). We then headed back to Copenhagen where we visited the famous Tivoli Gardens park, an amusement park with gardens, rides, games, and tons of theme restaurants (think pirate ships!). The claim to fame for the gardens would have to be the hellavator/swing ride. Essentialy, the ride shoots you up in the ... read more
